There’s a lot to be said for a competition like this which can provide opportunities to young, homegrown talent. David Norman Jr. made his debut for the senior team today, alongside fellow Canadians Brett Levis and Russell Teibert, who was handed the Captain’s armband. Just two years ago, Alphonso Davies also made his debut in this competition, though today he didn’t grace the pitch.
On the other side of the ball, Samuel Piette was also handed the armband for the Impact. On the whole, it was a nice moment for Canadian Men’s football to see.
